Photo of the day: Family in the leaves

When this family mentioned they had a beautiful carpet of yellow leaves in their backyard, I wanted to make sure I included them in at least some of the portraits. I love this time of year! The leaves were a gorgeous golden yellow that served as a lovely backdrop for a truly adorable family.

It took a little while to get the girls to warm up to me, but I think in the end I won them over. They both have the most exquisite blue eyes and porcelain doll skin, and they were sweet with just the perfect hint of sass. You can see it in this photo, can’t you?

I never would have guessed that such a big part of getting good photos is getting to know the people you are photographing, and what a delightful part of the job it is. 🙂

  1. IMO, it is the MOST important part of working with families….. getting to know them & having their true selves shine through in the images we capture 🙂 and yes, it is the most delightful part too!!!!
